octave and multi-octave performance using a unique construction technique involving PIN diodes in broadband
microstrip circuits. Careful diode selection allows a variety
of device performance, trading off peak and average power
handling, spike leakage and recovery time. Typical
insertion loss and VSWR curves are shown below.
